Some Skagit "Tips" from the Swedes

        It's been a great winter for honing fishing skills here in Western North Carolina.  However, there have been several very cold fronts that have slowed things down mid winter this year.  From what I hear, it has an been unseasonably harsh winter.  It is impressive how quickly things can change from warm to cold and vise versa.  When the weather gets very cold and snowy, it's a great time to research future trips, tie some flies, and keep fishing "conceptually".  I am looking forward to heading back to the North West and getting out on the great rivers.  The plan for the summer has not been set as of now, but I am having "Steelhead Dreams" for next year...         
         To diversify our techniques, sometimes it's great to see what they are doing on the other side of the pond.  I came across these guys, Mattias Drugge and Tobbe Hedin from Sweden, a couple of pro anglers who host a great show called Fly TV.  Here, they give a very clear explanation and demonstration of the Skagit style Spey fishing.  I enjoy watching their videos, and I hope that you do also! Fish ON!
